Behind the times.

I've never seen "Lost" or "24". No joke.
The Mister and I do not have cable and therefore our choices are quite limited.
We have stumbled upon both of these shows and this is how it usually goes,

Mister: What's this? Those people look dirty.
Me: Is it scary? Maybe I shouldn't watch.
Mister: Oh, I know! It's that Lost show. [click]
or
Me: Is that the guy from 'Young Guns'?
Mister: Yes, it's that 24 show.
Me: Oh. Lots of people watch that; I've never seen it.
Mister: Me either. [click]

I've only ever been truly interested in two television programs: The Wonder Years and The West Wing. Both were quality entertainment. These shows hooked me from the beginning with great characters and wonderful plot lines. Who can forget when Kevin Arnold learned about the female reproductive system from his idiot gym teacher and came away from it only knowing something was shaped like a cow's head? That is special, my friend. And who has a heart so cold it didn't break when Mrs. Landingham was killed after picking up her first new car? Quality tear jerking ensued.
How about the time Kevin ran against Becky Slater for class president and used the slogan "Becky Slater = BS"? Or even the time Josh got wasted and had to wear fishing waders to a meeting? Too funny.
I just don't have anything like that anymore. The West Wing has 3 episodes left and I feel like our relationship isn't worth continuing. I know they're breaking up with me so why should I invest my time?
The best thing I've got is occasionally stumbling upon ancient Julia Child cooking shows on WETA or WHUT. There is very little that can tear me away from Julia and a joint. Seriously, it doesn't get much better than that.
